Somatiqi

nu-jazz fusion hip-hop jazz

Influences: Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ronald Shannon Jackson

Somatiqi is a three-piece collective led by drummer and producer Mike Perry, with Faye Thompson on alto saxophone and effects and Safiyya Babbio on Fender Rhodes, synths and samplers. Their sound fuses live jazz improvisation with dubstep, drum and bass, jungle, IDM and hip-hop, built on uptempo dancefloor rhythms and experimental sound design. Perry's background as a working producer means the band's material from the upcoming album "Ramsey's Theory" is shaped by live electronics, sequencers and analogue effects chains rather than standard jazz forms.

Personnel:
Mike Perry (drums)
Faye Thompson (alto saxophone)
